This video demonstrates two techniques for shooting with iron sights in a Close Quarters Battle (CQB) context. The instructor explains the trade-offs between looking through the larger aperture versus looking over the rear sight, highlighting improved situational awareness with the latter. He also touches on the necessity of aiming high due to height over bore offset at CQB distances.

This video demonstrates an alternative iron sight shooting technique for Close Quarters Battle (CQB) distances. The instructor explains how looking over the rear sight and focusing on the front sight post can improve situational awareness. While this method may cause shots to land high, it compensates for the height over bore offset common in CQB scenarios, especially when compared to red dot sights.

This video emphasizes the importance of emotional control and managing ego in shooting, highlighting reliability as paramount for any firearm. It delves into practical advice on gear selection, focusing on proven track records over subjective feel, and discusses the nuances of self-defense decision-making beyond legal permissibility. The speaker, with significant experience, stresses the need for demonstrated performance and understanding the 'why' behind techniques when teaching others.

This guide details a CQB shooting technique using iron sights, focusing on aiming over the rear sight for improved speed and situational awareness. It explains how this method can naturally compensate for height over bore offset, a critical factor in close-quarters engagements. The technique emphasizes focusing on the front sight post for rapid target acquisition.

Instruction from Karl Erickson of Tactical Rifleman demonstrates a critical close-quarters combat technique: using a tactical fixed blade knife to create space when an opponent attempts to grab a pistol.
